omocFoitic Citizenship In
Subject Of Af
By KATHY RADAKER
Feature Editor
A booklet presenting glimpses
into hundreds of state classrooms
has bee published by the Ne
braska Co-operative School Study
council and the Nebraska Citizen
ship Education project to show
how teachers in all kind of schools
ae planning and directing activ
ities aimed at developing good
citizenship.
"Learning the Ways of Dem
ocracy in Nebraska Schools,"
edited and printed under the di
rection of Dr. Royce H. Knapp,
professor of secondary education
and director of the Nebraska
Citizenship Education project,
was prepared for teachers and
administrators of Nebraska pub
lic schools.
This booklet is divided into sec
tions as primary, intermediate,
junior and senior high school de
partments. Primary pupils are taught
throu ghout Nebraska, that
through direct experience, they
should acquire an intimate know
ledge of their community what
it is, how it functions and how,Jyt admonition and exhortation
ft serves.
The following ideas are pre
sented in the booklet:
Democratic citizenship, built
upon the traditions of neighbor
liness and brotherly love, requires
that citizens be ever alert to the180118.1; J?
opportunities for helping others,bf manifested in the consideration

thoughtful and to regard the hap

in a cornerstone of democracy and
Christian ethics. Pupils at an early
age should learn to associate dem
ocracy's privileges with attendant
responsibilities. Learning to co
operate in group endeavors is a
primary skill of democratic citi
zenship. , . Children should be helped to
make application of democratic
principles in inter-personal re
lationships and in situations of
everyday living.
- American culture has been com
pounded from the best elements of
world-wide civilization, and now,
due to Jhe shrinking of the world
by echnology, it is imperative that

Purdue Quick Kiss
An attempt was made by a well
known campus personality to be
come the true Boilermaker at
Purdue. At the first stroke of mid
night he was to try to kiss his
girl while on the steps of the
auditorium, run to John Purdue's
grave and get back to kiss his girl
again before the last stroke of 12.
This little episode took place
at an all-university pep rally on
Purdue's campus.
What is a boiler-maker, huh?

Patriotism implies understand

These skills are developed
through practice, beginning in
the miniature society of the
school. The essential under
standing of representative gov

the classroom. This is naturally
expanded by experiences in
selecting and co-operating with
student officers and by observa
tion and study of local state, and
national governmental activities.
Good citizenship is taught not
but by realistic experiences with
actual situations in school and
community life. Democratic citiz

essential worth of each individual
and supreme respect for human

The junior high department pro

Democracy implies the use of
intelligence in solving problems

Hitler's Comment
The Iowa State Daily picked up
a little remark of Adolph Hitler's
which will surely crush all jour
nalists:
"I know one is able to win
people far more by the spoken
word than by the written word,
and that every great movement
on this globe owes its rise to the
great speakers and not to the
great writers."
Girls Tie In Football
The Michigan state Legislature
recently voted Michigan State's
football team the best in the na
tion and Coach Bennie Oosterban
the best coach in the nation. How
about that? And besides all that,
the vote was unanimous, too.
Even the girls got into the act
in fair Michigan. They organized
a ladies' football team to prove
that the "weaker sex" is an in
accurate title. Then they chal
lenged last year's intramural
champion to a game. The score

Picture Stealing
Ours isn't the only campus that
has problems. It seems that the
homecoming queen candidates'
pictures were steadily disappear
ing from campaign rosters at the
University of Detroit. To frustrate
the unknown admirers who pu
fered the photos, the Varsity News
suggested painting the ladies' pic
tures on the wall in fresco. The
idea sounds okay, unless someone
steals tne walls.
Considering the plight at our
club when a couple of genuine
Rembrandts disappeared, the Uni
versity of Detroit seems to have
come up with a fairly fool-proof
idea.
